Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Ganache

Romeo and Juliet. Antony and Cleopatra. Chocolate and Raspberry.

Marjorie at Sugar for the Brain reminds us that some combinations are just meant to be. Her gorgeous Chocolate Cupcakes with Raspberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Ganache not only look beautiful, but also play up that wonderful berry/chocolate combination. This cupcake features her “Perfectly Chocolate Cake” recipe as a base, adding light, fluffy buttercream and fresh raspberries. And if that wasn’t enough to get your mouth watering, the whole thing is topped off with a drizzle of luscious ganache and a plump, ripe raspberry. As one commenter put it: “I want to lick the screen.”
